Looking to connect with other cool neurodivergent folks without the awkward small talk or "support group" vibes? Join us for a casual Show & Tell evening! No required social performance, but just a room full of people excited to listen to cool things and hang out. Whether you are hyperfixated on deep space, vintage keychains, mechanical keyboards, a niche history event or your latest creative project: This is a space to share what brings you joy or just listen and learn about new topics. **The Schedule** • 19:00 – 19:15 \| Arrival & Settling In Grab a seat, get comfortable, and relax before we kick things off. • 19:15 – 19:45 \| 5\-Minute "Show & Tell" Mini\-Talks We’ll have up to 6 quick, informal 5-minute slots for anyone who wants to share a passion, show an object or talk about a hyperfixation. (Presenting is 100% optional. you are more than welcome to just listen!) • 19:45 – 21:00 \| Open Mingling & Hanging Out Use the icebreakers to chat with people about their interests or just hang out at your own pace. Stay as long or as short as you like. **Good to Know (Sensory & Social Environment)** • Low Pressure: You don't have to present, stay the whole time, or force small talk. Stimming, taking quiet breaks, or stepping outside whenever you need a breather is completely fine. • Relational Storytelling Welcome: Connecting through parallel experiences, sharing niche facts and infodumping are encouraged here! • The Space: OBA Oosterdok is calm, spacious and low-sensory compared to typical social venues like pubs or crowded cafes. • How to Find Us: We’ll post exact details and a landmark/sign in the meetup chat on the day of the event so you know precisely where to walk up to. **Want to Present a 5-Minute Topic?** If you’d like to claim one of the 5-minute Show & Tell spots, sign-up with the hosts when you arrive to the meet up. Spots are first-come, first-served, but totally casual. No slide decks needed unless you want to bring something physical
